Any play in the steering wheel when it happens?

Could be a ton of things from bad motor mounts to a loose shock upper mount bolt. Try to be a bit more specific. As WizCo said, do you get any steering wheel shake? Which area of the engine bay specifically? Have you popped the hood/checked around for loose bolts/cracked rubber?

be more specific and we can try to help you better

I have the same thing going on right now, and currently everything is brand new in my front suspension except my LCA, and everything is torqued to spec.

Motor mounts OK? I had this problem on an old Camry and it turned out that the bolt for the front motor mount was snapped.
